Subject: [PATCH nfs-utils] start-statd: use flock -x instead of -e for busybox compatibility
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2024 19:56:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240228185644.2743036-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

busybox flock(1) only supports -x and not -e. util-linux flock(1)
treats both -e and -x the same, documents them both in its man page,
but lists only -x in its help output.

Referring to util-linux git, it seems both options were added between
util-linux-2.13-pre1 and util-linux-2.13-pre2 back in 2006, so there
should be no harm in switching over to flock -x to avoid confusing
error output when attempting to mount a NFS on a busybox system:

  $ mount -t nfs 192.168.2.13:/home/afa/nfsroot/imx8mn-evk /mnt
  flock: invalid option -- 'e'
  BusyBox v1.36.0 () multi-call binary.

  Usage: flock [-sxun] FD | { FILE [-c] PROG ARGS }

  [Un]lock file descriptor, or lock FILE, run PROG

          -s      Shared lock
          -x      Exclusive lock (default)
          -u      Unlock FD
          -n      Fail rather than wait
